8.4.4 Logistics and distribution The Coordinator may need to make additional budget provisions for logistical support with procurement, transportation, storage and distribution within funding proposals, if these capacities are lacking among existing cluster partners. Equally important is coordination of logistics requirements within strategic response planning, to ensure that sufficient time is allowed for procurement, shipping, clearances and transport. Supply and distribution planning tools should ideally be developed as part of emergency preparedness, and developed and implemented in consultation with education authorities at all levels. Templates can be found in the UNICEF and Save the Children Education in Emergencies Training Facilitators Guide included in the ‘Additional resources’ listed at the end of this section. Warehousing The storage and distribution of emergency education supplies is essentially the responsibility of the government, but in many situations it may lack the capacity to coordinate requirements. Education cluster response strategies will need to take account of storage and stockpiling requirements, particularly when: � the evolving emergency situation is unpredictable, eg, with uncertain population movements or potential insecurity or deterioration in conditions � a prolonged response is expected � there are likely to be fluctuations in supply and distribution � a high level of turnover of supplies is anticipated � large quantities of other supplies are competing for storage space � limited transport is available, or the transport infrastructure is poor or badly damaged. The government, cluster partners, other UN agencies such as UNICEF and the World Food Programme (WFP), and other clusters including the Logistics Cluster, can play a key role in assisting the Coordinator to identify appropriate storage locations and facilities, and modes of distribution. Transport Transport and distribution options may be affected by physical damage or poor infrastructure, security or weather conditions, and lack of drivers, fuel or spare parts. Where transport is likely to be a major constraint, try to minimise the weight, volume and overall quantities of materials requiring distribution. Identify possible distribution mechanisms as soon as possible, including commercial transport companies and local options where possible. 286 | May 2010
Advocacy and resource mobilisation Similarly, in response planning, make adequate allowance for transport times and delays, taking into account clearance and security checks, road conditions, availability of transport, fuel and drivers, and distribution to inaccessible schools. 8.4.5 Monitoring education supply and distribution The Coordinator needs to ensure a robust system for supply and distribution monitoring. Monitoring of supply is needed to ensure that supplies reach learners affected by the emergency. Monitoring of distribution and utilisation of supplies helps to prevent inappropriate, or lack of, use of distributed supplies. Schools and teaching staff can play a focal role in supporting the monitoring of education supplies; therefore up-to-date and accurate information on school locations, headteachers and other staff, and clear mechanisms for handover of supplies, are an essential part of supply and logistics planning. Supply and distribution monitoring tools should be developed in consultation with education authorities as part of emergency preparedness measures, and updated regularly as part of the Coordinator’s information management responsibilities.
